I can't believe what a fiasco this is.  They pass laws that they don't even follow.  They just do what they want.

Republicans launch new attack on Obamacare funding

QuoteThe administration is funding the program illegally by using a pot of IRS money used for tax refunds, says Rep. Peter Roskam, R-Ill., who leads oversight efforts on the House Ways and Means Committee.

The law authorizes that money can be used for the law's insurance premium subsidies but not for the basic health program, he argues. He says using that funding would require approval from Congress since it is not authorized within the text of the law itself.

House Republicans have already targeted that same pot of money in their Obamacare lawsuit, saying it's being used illegally to pay for the law's insurance cost-sharing subsidies. That case is currently being litigated.

Now Roskam and other leading Republicans are trying to attack the administration on the basic health program funding, saying it's another example of the same tactic.

 The dear leader can't be bothered with laws that slow down his agenda.We can't criticize either, otherwise we are racists. I thought Nixon was bad, this clown has him beat by a mile.

Oh, that's an easy one SSMGR.  They'll give it the same treatment they are giving the trade deal and the immigrant deal, just let it happen according to the desires of the pos in the WH.

Well to be sure, Comedy Central has a part in it too.  Somehow, I ain't laughing but I'd have to in order to quit cursing.

Let me guess, file a useless lawsuit, grandstand, and do nothing else? Isn't that what the RINO playbook says to do?
